In the early hours of Wednesday, 18 February, a single-vehicle\naccident occurred in the Dharmawangsa area of South Jakarta. Initial\nreports indicated that a 35-year-old woman had crashed into the fence of\nthe residence belonging to Indonesia\u2019s 10th and 12th Vice President\nJusuf Kalla (JK), but it later emerged that the fence struck was that of\nJK\u2019s youngest daughter, Chairani Kalla.<\/p>\n
Chairani, commonly known as Ade, explained that her home and JK\u2019s\nresidence are situated within the same compound comprising several\nhouses. Ade stated that the woman, identified by the initials HP, was\nintoxicated at the time of the incident but subsequently showed good\nfaith.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe person showed good faith by coming here \u2014 she came just this\nafternoon, this evening. And she came, thankfully she apologised and\nsaid she would pay compensation. I said thank you for the good faith in\ncoming, thank you for being willing to take material responsibility, but\nmaterial matters are secondary. The first priority must be moral\naccountability \u2014 it must be,\u201d Ade told detikcom at her residence on\nSaturday, 21 February 2026.<\/p>\n
Ade explained that when she met with HP, she urged the driver to take\nresponsibility for her negligence in driving whilst intoxicated. Ade\nsaid HP ultimately provided a written letter of apology along with a\nstatement confirming that she had indeed been under the influence of\nalcohol when the crash occurred.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo that\u2019s what I wanted \u2014 for her to take moral responsibility. \u2018Do\nyou admit you were under the influence of alcohol?\u2019 Thankfully, she\nadmitted it. She said, \u2018Yes, Ma\u2019am, I was under the influence of\nalcohol. I was indeed drunk at the time and I apologise, I was out of\ncontrol,\u2019\u201d Ade recounted.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen I said, \u2018Would you be willing to write a statement confirming\nyou were under the influence of alcohol?\u2019 Thankfully, she was willing to\nwrite it. I\u2019ve photographed it and kept it for my records. So what\u2019s\nimportant to me is having evidence that she was indeed drunk and that\nthe police statement was incorrect,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Ade confirmed that the matter has been resolved and that she has\nforgiven HP.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I have forgiven her. During the month of Ramadan, we must learn\npatience and sincerity,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n
The Hyundai Santa Fe driven by HP crashed into Ade\u2019s fence in the\nearly hours of Wednesday, 18 February, at approximately 03:30 local\ntime. HP had been travelling from the direction of Kemang and was\nheading home to Jagakarsa in South Jakarta.<\/p>\n
The Head of Public Relations at the South Jakarta Metropolitan\nPolice, Senior Commissioner Murodih, confirmed that there were no\ninjuries or fatalities resulting from the accident.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/jusuf-kallas-daughter-explains-drunk-driver-crashed-into-her-homes-fence-1771721222", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
